APC has settled on Prof. Yemi Osibajo as its vice Presidential choice after the candidate of other candidates like Rotimi Amaechi, Babatunde Fashola, Kayode Fayemi, Adams Oshiomhole, and most notably Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, were considered.

Tinubu nearly became the candidate. But his candidature created a sharp division within the party's ranks as the party's governors, especially the new governors who defected to the party and top ranking officers were stiffly opposed to it.
After several deadlocks spanning five days, the party agrees on a consensus candidate in Osibajo.
The situation still reflects Tinubu's influence within the party as Osibajo is his nominated candidate. It shows while the party is against having Tinubu on the ticket, he is still the decider of who becomes the running mate to Buhari.
